This movement is also known by the name of the Democracy Movement. The students started these protests on April 15 and the protesters were forcefully suppressed by the government on June 4 when the government imposed martial law all over Beijing and also sent military troops to occupy the central parts of Beijing. The troops went with assault rifles and tanks and used this power on the demonstrators. The death toll of this event is estimated in hundreds whereas thousands were wounded.

7. What elements of Greek society can you observe in Roman society?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

There are several elements.

To start, Roman religon was largely influenced by Greek religion and myths. This can be seen in the fact that many Roman deities are essentially adapted Greek deities. For example, Jupiter is the Roman equivalent to Zeus, and Mars is the Roman equivalent to Ares.

Another characteristic can be seen in architecture. Roman architecture took after Greek architecture in many ways, for example, in the use of columns, and in the type of geometric distributions in public facilities like temples or theaters.

Finally, societal attitudes towards issues such as philosophy, sexuality, and slavery, were also deeply influenced by Greek views.
